Do I paint kitchen table & chairs to match cabinets or island?

13 years ago

I'm redecorating my kitchen...the cabinets have been painted an antique white, the island I have decided to do black. The walls will be Blue Shamrock (light blue/green)...I am also painting the kitchen table & chairs. At first I decided black, but now I am wondering if antique white would look better and the island be the only black thing in the room. Thoughts?

Haha...it's exactly my dilemma..I think they would both look nice. I just don't know! The good news is I need to prime the table first no matter what, and that's white...so at least I can kind of see one of the options that way.

Without picutres it is hard to help, but i hope these inspire you. I think a black table with a colored chair could be really pretty.

Thank you! I will post some pics of the new floors and cabinets once they are hung back up...right now wouldn't be much help. It's just driving me bananas that I can't decide.

If there are stools at the island they should be black. Can the top of the table be stained like Kelly's last picture? Are your floors light or dark?

My floors are kind of multi-colored. Obviously this isn't the kitchen, but these are my floors.

Your floors are a beautiful mid-tone, so both black and antique white will work. That's not very helpful, is it?! I agree with Kelly that maybe it will be more apparent when the cabinets and island are both in the space. We'll weigh in again when you post the new pics:)

Can't wait to see it when I arrive Wednesday. I can't give my 2 cents without seeing what's going on in there at the moment. You know me...I do love Kelly's example of black table with colored chairs!
